I am a 48 year old New Zealander, who currently works in Auckland as a Project Manager in the education sector. I also have a legal background, having worked as an intellectual property lawyer in the film and television sectors for 12 years.

I am a passionate traveller and have voyaged widely throughout the world for approx. the past twenty years, including a six year stint based in London, from which I travelled extensively around Europe.

This resulted in a love affair with France, and I remain a keen Francophile, aiming to travel to France at least annually to immerse in the language.

I also took a sabbatical in 2013 and lived in Toulouse, South-West France, for six months, where I undertook a three month intensive French course at the Alliance Francaise. I travelled solo to Toulouse, and knew nobody there, however very quickly made new friends and networks and had managed to establish a thriving social life by the time I left six months later! I also love cycling and took the opportunity to get out and about and enjoy lots of the beautiful French back roads and villages - and followed three stages of the Tour de France 2013!

I adore animals, and have had pets living with me most of my life. I am therefore experienced in caring for various sized and types of pets, both farm and domestic.

I developed and managed my own “animal sanctuary” for seven years, caring for a range of horses, goats, sheep, hens, cattle and dogs during that time. I gained experience in management and treatment of a wide variety of illnesses and ailments and general preventative care and supplements to aid good health.

As a former rural property owner, I am very used to taking responsibility for a home and pets (including domestic and farm) and caring for them with love and devotion.

I am very trustworthy, responsible, clean and tidy with lots of common sense, and am animal crazy.

Due to my strong feelings for animals, I am a committed vegetarian/transitioning vegan.

Why I want to house sit

The “gypsy” in me loves the flexibility and freedom of house sitting, as it allows me to live in different places every year!

I relish change and challenges and love learning new languages. In particular, I am looking for house sits in France (or possibly New Caledonia, being a bit closer to home), so that I can continue to build on my French linguistic skills. I have been studying at the Alliance Francaise in Auckland for the past 2.5 years and am very committed to continuing to build on my linguistic skills.

Ideally I’d like to spend half of my year in Europe, returning to New Zealand in the southern hemisphere summer. I own my own apartment in Auckland’s inner city and can rent this out for income whilst I am house sitting.

I would love to share my life with many animals, live in different locations, houses/apartments and make lots of new friends throughout the world and experience living in different cultures.
